Highlights
Pet care experience
Young professional and dog auntie
I grew up in a Rottweiler household and am trained as a level 3 out of 3 dog walker at the Alameda animal shelter. I have over 30 volunteer hours logged at the shelter and love working with dogs of all sizes and personalities!
Cat care experience
Isabel also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My current place doesn’t allow pets so I am getting my fix through volunteering at the Alameda animal shelter and pet sitting for friends!
Ratings and reviews
This sitter really goes the extra mile to care for your pets. She even offered to water some of our house plants. My cats absolutely adore her. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!
Isabel was the first person I ever trusted to dog sit for me after I adopted my dog Aurora! She is so caring and patient - Aurora has matured a lot but Isabel took care of her when she was still just a puppy, super needy & still learning manners. To this day Aurora still loves Isabel and gets so so excited when she sees her. Isabel is kind, attentive, and obviously loves animals. I would trust her with Aurora again any day!!
Isabel took wonderful care of our dog Wesley while we were away for several days. He is a sensitive fellow who needs attention and to sleep with people. Isabel is completely trustworthy, very knowledgeable about dogs in general and follows instructions carefully. She stayed in our home and kept it spotless. It was so nice to be able to relax while we are away knowing our dog was well cared for. Also, Isabel sent us pictures so that we could see how our boy was doing which was very kind. Anyone would be lucky to have such a responsible person to care for their pet.
Isabel is so loving and attentive to all animals she comes in contact with! Not only has she watched multiple of the dogs in my family for up to two weeks, but she has done the same for many other friends including cats, dogs, chickens, and even pigeons. She has always been so kind to animals as a whole, very aware of every animals specific needs, and excels at tailoring their care to those needs. I highly recommend Isabel as a caregiver for any and all pets!
Isabel is the best pet caregiver we’ve ever used! She is a great communicator, very trustworthy, prompt, detailed, thorough, and thoughtful. She loves dogs, and our dog absolutely loves Isabel! She’s great at handling him on walks, and high stress situations, such as fireworks. She watched our home/dogs (at the time we had a 110lb German Shepard mix, a border collie/heeler, and a dachshund) a few years ago for 10 days, and gave us so much peace of mind while on our vacation, I haven’t hired anyone else since. She was so amazing with all 3 dogs, 10/10 recommend!!!
